We spent a considerable amount of time today. IE11 wouldn't render awesome fonts, why? Because we were protecting the privacy of our users and because we were stopping hackers from pulling sensitive information stored in users computers. In short IE11 will not render awesome fonts if you use the below header:

Cache-Control: no-store

The "solution" is to set a max-age for Cache-Control only when fonts are requested. This is an example of "let us please those that do not care much about security affecting those that do care". In my opinion this is an IE11 bug and I would certainly ban this browser until fixed from accessing any application that should comply with privacy laws.
